Even then, there is someone who would take the baby and raise it as their own. Too many girls and women, who are sexually active, do not take precautions to prevent pregnancy, and many just say that abortion is always a possibility. If someone is going to have unprotected sex, she should be prepared for pregnancy whether she chooses to keep the baby or allow another deserving family to raise the baby through adoption. There are so many men and women who want to have children but are not able to conceive. Finding someone to take a baby is never a problem.
RE: Anand Giridharadas ,” Abortion” December 14, 2012 Abortion.. is it a women's right or should everyone have the right to life? Many believe that once the baby is alive it is considered murder. However others may believe it is up to the woman if one wants to keep it or not. This has been a topic amongst many arguments around the world and many do not come to a conclusion. It is your right to believe in what you want, so is abortion good or bad?
There are many other options for women that are not ready to be mothers. Having your baby aborted is not the answer; it is just the easiest way to deal with your problem. When women are asked, they have three typical responses they give for justifying their reason for an abortion. Some say that having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities. Others say they cannot afford a child, and then some say that they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner.
They provide evidence for the idea that life starts at conception with biblical quotes like "the days ordained to me were written in your book before one even came to be" and "your eyes saw my unformed body" suggesting that our personhood in God's view starts at as soon as the egg is fertilised. With that in mind, one of the ten commandments: "thou shalt not kill" would apply strongly to foetuses, and this is why many Catholics believe abortion is wrong under all circumstances. As for the societal implication, Christians could argue that allowing abortion could lead to a lesser respect for human life in general, which is disrespectful to God who gave us the divine gift of life. From the perspective of Joseph Fletcher's situation ethics, abortion can be seen as unacceptable in many cases where the amount of agape love is not maximised. This could mean in cases where the mother could look after the child comfortably with love and care but chooses not to out of selfishness instead (one of the four functioning principles: pragmatism, would need to be applied to decide).
One of the main differences between adoption and abortion is that abortion ends a life in order to end a pregnancy whereas adoption requires the giving up of the young or new born baby. Adoption also gives the mother the memory of giving birth even if she isn’t and never may be, in the position to give birth again. This can prove a life changing and eye opening experience to young women which could really change their maturity on the topic or later life or even just the prospect of birth. There are countless other differences that separate the mother when addressing adoption and abortion, the contact with the child, the finality of the decision, all of which are things which could lend themselves equally dependant on the mother’s current position in life and the mother’s mentality on having children. There are, however, benefits to the child in this topic.
If she had the baby, he might leave her, she would have no way to support herself. Society backed her into a corner because it didn’t support a woman’s right to choose. If this took place today, the effect would have been very different. A single mother like Jig, would have rights to do what she wanted. Raising a child alone isn't as taboo as it was back then.
Many of the arguments made by the pro-life team take a moral, ethical, or religious standpoint in their persuasion of others. In order for us to gain a more objective look at the debate with real-world pros and cons, the moral, ethical, and/or religious arguments will not be covered. Abortion has been a topic of controversy in America for almost two hundred years. The earliest known instance of conflict occurred in 1821 when Connecticut outlawed the selling of poisons used to induce abortion in women (Abortion ProCon.org). In 1845, New York began the trend of slapping legal consequences for women who have abortions.
Pro-life is the opposing argument to pro-choice, and that abortions should be made illegal like in Northern Ireland unless the mother’s life is at serious risk. Many Religions have the traditional view that abortion is a sin. It is argued that if a teenager becomes pregnant and has an abortion they may come to regret this in later life, because at the time they were only a minor. The argument for Pro-life is a choice by people who feel that it is wrong to take a man life, weather that human has been born or not is irrelevant. Abortion is seen as no different to murder.
Jenna Geyman Government March 25, 2012 Abortion I do not think abortion is a good thing. There is something very precious about bringing a new life into the world. I love to hold a new little baby and think about what its life will be like. If I had a friend who got pregnant and was considering an abortion, I think I would help her to try to find some way to keep the child and care for it. But I do not think it is right for the government to make abortion illegal either.
I would ask these questions of a man because some men not all tend to say they will but when it comes time to actually stand up and be a man they disappear like a ghost. Therefore, I feel like the choice should be the woman alone being she has to bare the burden/joy of raising a child alone There are a lot of issue to deal with when it comes to abortion, does are just some of the select few. I personally would advice any woman against abortion do to my own personal experience in which took me some years to get pass. But I do feel that a woman has the right to decide what goes into her body as well as comes out. So, who are we to decide a major life altering event in a woman’s life?
